Mitt Romney: Selective Scold
Revealing himself as more craven than Jon Huntsman, Herman Cain, and even Tim Pawlenty, who have all belatedly condemned the booing of soldier Stephen Hill by some in the last GOP primary debate audience for the transgression of serving while gay, in a Wall Street Journal interview published today, Mitt Romney declares that it’s inappropriate for him to engage with audience members when he takes exception to their reactions:
“Now I have not made it my practice to scold the audience and say, ‘I disagree with this person. I agree with that person.’ Because it goes a lot of different directions.”
You probably know what’s coming. Is this an inviolable rule for Mitt?
Romney Heckled by Angry Iowa Crowd Chanting ‘Wall Street Greed’
In his second visit to Iowa, Mitt Romney was heckled at the Iowa State Fair by crowd members he dismissed as non-supporters.
As members of the audience began chanting “Wall Street greed” today, Romney vowed not to raise taxes on anyone—including businesses.
“Corporations are people, my friend,” he said. “Everything corporations earn ultimately goes to people.”
After a shouting match with another questioner who asked what he would do to strengthen Social Security, Romney pointed angrily at the audience and asked them to let him answer.
“My guess is they won’t be voting for me. That’s fine,” he said, before stepping off a small speaking podium. “We have a lot of people running for office.”
